Austin Lake

[Guest MOfish447]

Does anybody fish Austin Lake? 
 

MDC Fishery 

Located north of Highway 60 on MM northwest of Cabool and east of Mountain Grove in Texas County.

Howdy,

I've fished it twice. Once from the bank and once in my canoe. Pretty little lake. Fishing is okay. I caught three each time I went.  It gets choked with weeds in the summertime (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). I'm sure there's decent fish in there but I think it suffers from what a lot of small lakes in this area suffer from: poor management.

Hey thanks for the reply. Guessing you caught Largemouth and/or Bluegill?

Nice. I saw online that MDC encourages people to harvest a few dink bass each visit.
